Note: We all know by now 9/11 was tragic and not funny, but the old saying goes: "Time plus tragedy equals comedy". The only thing we're making fun of is the terrorists themselves, politicians used 9/11 for personal gain and war profiteers wanting to make a cheap quick buck. This is more of a parody and contains politically "incorrect" satire. + PotatoSmut 13:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

This is not a laughing matter. Even if this site is meant to be "funny", it really isn't. This particular page is arrogant and disrespectful.
My Grandma died in the 9/11 attacks, and this is not appreciated.

Please get rid of this site.

What the hell is wrong with you people?
You fucking leeches, I knew people who died in that.
Suck that, fuckheads.

WARNING!

This page contains profuse whining. Proceed with caution.

Laugh out loud, funniest show ever, I mean the bit when they collapsed, classic. Steven Speilberg would be jealous.

I re-added the figure skating stuff, because it's funny to come to a 9/11 page and see the first topic to be about figure skating. Figure skating is a controversial subject, so try to be respectful and not delete it again. --ChosenOne 20:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I feel very offended by how the site deals with the 9-11 attacks. This is a serious lopic its nothing to joke around. Many people lost their lives!! Listen I don't care if this is a parody site.

This is something not to joke about 2,000+ people were killed! So please be serious! This is a controversial topic!! So please do not revert the page! Please be serious and respectful towards the victims and the family of the deceased.

Thank you,

Bin Laden

P.S. Of course the Holocaust pages don't matter, who likes Jews anyway. And I'm sure it wasn't any more than 2000 that died.

Master of the Universe Edit: I'm an angry palestinian with a rocket. I JUST PWNED YOUR FAMILY, laugh out loud.

Unfortunately Mr. Laden, it's not up to you to decide what is acceptable on this website. Whilst we do sincerely sympathise with those who lost friends or relatives, this site is, and remains, a parody site. There are no sacred cows here. We're aware that not everyone may find every subject appropriate for comedy, and if you find yourself offended by the contents of a page, all you have to do is close the window. One click, and it's gone. Then, why not check out one of the many other fine sites that the internet has to offer? I hear there are one or two others out there. Hell, if you feel that strongly about it, get yourself a webhost and start a 9-11 tribute site (again, I believe there may be one or two of those already; I'm not sure). But don't censor our right to freedom of expression, or vandalise the page (yes, inserting facts is a form of vandalism here). If you persist in doing so, we will have no option but to block you from editing the site. -- Sir CodeineKUNVFPBur.MDANSUotMCM+S(Harangue) 12:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Laden: vandalizing the page will do nothing for your case. If you'd like to request the deletion of the page, please follow the instructions at VFD. I guarantee you that "don't joke about a serious topic" will not enamor many people to you. You'll need a better defense than that. Many if not most of the users here, including myself, believe that no topic is inherently off limits for humor. —rc(t) 21:02, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't forget WWII itself, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the American Civil War, cancer, heart disease, the War on Terror, Viet Nam, etc, etc, all of which killed more people than the attacks of 9/11 and are made fun of somewhere in the Uncyclopedia. Personally, I think the writer of the article is seriously messed up, but he has the right to be that way. And if you're American, you'll fight and/or die to defend his/her right to say what they want to say. Strong Rad 21:16, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I get their point, they just worded it poorly. I think it's just something recent. When my bro was flying a plane in GTA San Andreas over the city, I pointed out buildings to crash into and was chastised. Ditto with showing my mom the Legos 9-11 movie by Andrew Kepple. In short, it's controversial because it's recent. (Apparently five years is still quite recent.) This is why this user finds this page more offensive than the many, many, many pages regarding the second-most lethal person in existence, Hitler. (More people died in Jesus' name, hence the second-most lethal title.) Anyway, the point is that yes, it's recent and it's tragic, but we have to parody it sometime, and now is better than never (or whenever the Internet becomes outdated). --Kalir, Savant of Utter Foolishness!(yell at me) 21:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I think Hitler would be far from second. What about Allah and other gods? I'm pretty sure Ra cause much more deaths than Hitler. xnamkcor

What about big Joe Stalin?(legend) Queen Elizabeth the first and her beloved Catohlic killings, there be many vying for that title. CitizenErased

<maturity>Well, this site is in all goodbad somekind of humor. But let's avoid a flame war and get over it. EVEN IF the topic is controversial at best. I really defeats the point of the site when something like this comes up.</maturity> Demonbob 01:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Gotta point out there's a whole load of jokes on the subject of smoking, too. That has killed more than 9/11, the Holocaust, Stalin etc etc etc all put together. Joking about something is one of the ways we humans deal with horror. You should have heard some of the jokes my Auntie Rose (survivor of Auschwitz) told about the Holocaust. ((RabbiTechno 12.01, 22.02.2007...I'd do this bit properly only this isn't my PC and the keyboard's set up weirdly, I'll be buggered if I can find the tilde))

To joke about 9/11 "is funny" is dumb, more akin to the Holocaust, slavery, the Trail of Tears (I'm of Cherokee Indian descent), the Berlin Wall, communism, genocide, wars in every country, and other traumatizing events on the people who were personally affected by it. The point is to make fun of the enemies, we're laughing AT them and I pray to God that Osama Bin Laden is a skeleton piled up in some cave in the Northwest Province, Pakistan. Of course, joking is a way humans deal with horror, although the rule of the game "It's how you say it or the kind of words, and smile at the end, as well point out our own errors in how we deal with the subject".

How about watching risque TV comedies: Hogan's Heroes, All in the Family, Married with Children, Roseanne, South Park and Family Guy? They deal with usually "taboo" subjects on torture, racism, sexism, class disparity, homosexuality and political issues from abortion to xenophobia through the use of comedy, parody, schtick and satire. Many people take some offense to jokes about alcoholism, cancer, drug use, divorce, domestic violence, illegitimacy, interracial love, pedophilia, religious beliefs and sexual references, but the majority who are hard-core fans of these programs LOVE it. I'm sure more TV comedies and standup performances are now easily joking about 9/11 without crossing the line of morality, ethics and sensitivity to the victims' families; you got to know the line. + PotatoSmut 13:17, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Let's re-open this debate: I'm not going to vandalize it, but I think it ought to be deleted immediately. 9/11 wasn't funny, and anyone who has any respect for the victims of that terrible attack ought to agree - even if you don't support the War on Terror. Not my job to decide what goes on this site? Then who else is going to give whatever nutter, who set this page up, a kick up the backside? A personal attack? Yes, I know, and I'm proud of that one as well if it means speaking up for such basic courtesy. --82.152.219.58 12:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

9/11 wasn't funny, but this article is-- well occasionally, at least. You have to admit the tetris thing is hilarious. Think of any tragedy that ever befell mankind. It's on this site. Somewhere. Being made fun of. Most of Uncyclopedia is a parody of Jesus Christ. Humor puts things in perspective, particularly when the event is so veiled in a nationalist fog as 9/11. Look at what is and isn't being made into a joke on this page. I think you'll see that it's very respectful in many regards. --ChosenOne 15:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Maybe we could make a new template. One that we can put at the top of the page, something like: This article's about some really sensitive shit. You're most likely going to be offended. We apologize. Kind of. It's an idea. --74.227.205.218 11:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

How about

WARNING! This article is designed to offend.If you are not offended by it, please edit it so that you will be in the future.For an example of how to be offensive, see: Holocaust

Look, if you're going to this site, you're going to accept the fact that you will be offended. Like how I was offended by the utter lack of a Chicken Gun article. AllStarZ 04:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead, make fun of Jesus, Hitler, Buddha, Mohammed, Stalin, Mao, Gandhi, Rosa Parks and Osama bin Laden. Controversial figures or deeply-admired heroes (from Princess Diana to Mother Teresa to Nelson Mandela) or politically charged leaders (Saddam, Mussolini, Tojo of WWII Japan & now with Hugo Chavez). They are naturally meant to make us laugh at the lighter side of life and the edginess of humor about these people. + PotatoSmut 13:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

I just wanted to say that, while the article itself is rather humdrum, the pictures in "Tragedy Strikes" are utterly hilarious. If I didn't think it might get me fired, I might print the first one out and put it on my wall. As for the other one, I wish you could print out animations. ;) -- Rei 22:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

It should be moved to 9 11 so that it won't look a subpage of 9.--Scott 01:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

== timeline for 9/11 ==

Yes, September 11 was a frightening day. But so are wars. And don't SWEAR!! OK, THIS IS A SITE TO EXPRESS FUNNY THINGS!! NOT TO SWEAR LIKE A SAILOR. Ok. Next rage. Its OK to be funny about that. I'm Catholic. (sorry mis-spelled) But get this and Hitler. My friends make jokes about Hiter and Saddam. It's sometimes racist but I don't use that speech. Jews aren't evil, no one is. I know without race and backgrounds. There will be lame jokes on TV. But it doesn't mean that we tell that to real Jews or Catholics. OK, enjoy this site. Be funny. Don't act like Ann Coulter at a Religion Party. Be respectful and funny at the same time.

I usually find Uncyclopedia funny... but not this one. I feel very offended, especially having witnessed the event myself. The falling bodies, the screaming, the agony and pain. Himynameismyname 14:23, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

WARNING!

This page contains profuse whining. Proceed with caution.

I'm sorry, but Uncyclopedia isn't to be taken seriously. And you really should know better than to go to a satirical website and look up 9/11 if you felt so strongly about it. --Mr Wuggles 03:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Whining bitches who go to the content-free Uncyclopedia and look up what they will be offended by make me sick to the core. They should know better. 67.242.219.139 14:10, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

This page sucks, and I think we should spend time fixing it.
And before you start complaining that it's offensive, you should see the article on the Holocaust and Hitler. I'm offended and I know plenty of people that would extremely offended, but I respect this place for its humour - what is the power of uncyclopedia if we place limits on what we can or cannot make fun of? Rfwoolf 05:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Something like this

September 11th, 2001 (also known as 911 or the day America the world stood still) was one of the biggest flight navigational errors in modern history. Several planes aiming to crash into important Australian landmarks were mistakingly directed to locations in the USA.

On that day, 125,000 people in Africa died from hunger, 2,000 were killed in civil war conflicts, 125,000 people from AIDS, and oh, also, 2,900 Americans died when two of the planes crashed into the Stupid Rich Westerner Centre towers in New York, desecrating the stupid rich westerner New York skyline. Other disasters that day included Paris Hilton's outfit.

U.S. President George W Bush was reading a story about a duck to schoolchildren at the time when he was interrupted and told about Ms Hilton's atrocious outfit.

Mayer Rudolph Gilliani commented that snakeskin skirts are so 1970's

...you get the drif.t

Stop trying to find bin Laden, we all knnow he's hiding in the white house after sleeping with George Bush....did I just say that aloud?

No, actually. You posted it online to millions of people in the world via satire site.

The page is unlocked, but for registered users only. Be careful when you edit anything to it, and remember to watch your words. Remember, the bad guys aren't Muslims or Americans or Israelis or Christians or Republicans or Democrats or anyone in between. I thought 9/11 united all Americans for these 15 minutes and the whole world was for us, no country deserves to be attacked or that 3,000 civilians were killed. Right now, it seems to be like "I hate Muslims because they hate Americans" and "the French told us to go pound it, we say they are against us." Why fight hate with more hate or express hate against innocent people? The war of terror only made bin Laden "stronger", Bush to look like a terrible war commander and Israel gets the blame, although OPEC had a field day jacking up the gas prices to over $4 a gallon on some occassions. +PotatoSmut 13:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

If you don't know, then google it you idiot. --Anonymous User (who is now Pissed Off)

dude, why do you have to be so annoying and rude to people just because you don't like people turning the 9/11 thing into a humorous (or semi-humorous) article? You could easily just ignore this article, or better yet just not pay attention to this site if it offends you so much. It's supposed to be semi-humorous. That's the point of the site. So just deal with it. (in response to Anonymous User, on behalf of the wikia user TrekCaptainUSA, who cannot log into Uncyclopedia). --TrekCaptain 16:45, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

I thought I'd just say...can you not whine? This is a joke. The writers no doubt respect 9/11 and are not really saying what they say. For God's sake, stop whinging.--UnEditor510drop us a line, mate 19:34, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well I don't respect 9/11, that's for sure. What they did to us back then was unacceptable. --67.242.219.139 14:24, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

9/11 was a tragedy, it was despicable, I wish it never happened, etc., but this article is great! I actually laughed out loud when I read the plane transcript:

JENGA: We have hijacked your planes and are going to crash them into the World Trade Center. Ha Ha

FAA: WTF!?

JENGA: Ha ha ha! JENGA!!

[passengers scream]

[plane crashes, end of transmission]

This article is great! I love it when the entire article is just plane wrong and it actually takes up a reasoning of its own (or something like that), like Michael Bay, which is without a doubt one of the best Uncyclopedia articles ever. Great job to whoever wrote this! 97.96.65.123 01:39, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Wait...you want us to do what...WHAT PEOPLE DO YOU WANT US TO COME ON?!?!?!?

I was one year old when 9/11 occurred. I do not find this article funny. Terrorist attacks like 9/11 are nothing to joke about. Thousands of people died that day, and that is not a laughing matter. I know this site is meant to be funny, but 9/11 jokes are not funny at all. I would like this article deleted as soon as possible. --68.103.31.159 20:53, June 6, 2014 (UTC)

I do agree with you sir. Although I find most articles on Uncyclopedia very entertaining, I do believe that 9/11 is too controversial to be covered in an article like this. (even though I edited the article myself previously) Tragedies sometimes need to be turned in a more positive light, but the truth in this one may have been twisted in a too peculiar way that it had become disgraceful. --Rstrong1234 (talk) 23:19, June 6, 2014 (UTC)

I do not agree that any subject here should be taboo. See our extensive line regarding Hitler/Nazism and our pulling of Jesus in two dozen directions. I believe that tasteless treatment of a tragedy is not the best comedy strategy, and that tastelessness without comedy at all should be edited or deleted. Rstrong, if you agree with Anon, then you should open a ballot at Votes for deletion. Anon can do so too, after picking a user name. One quibble to him: most of our articles have no exclusive "author," and in most cases where one did, he has moved on. But that means there is no one insisting that the article remain in its current state. SpıkeѦ02:21 7-Jun-14

I don't think I have the energy required to do an overhaul of content for a major article like this one, and considering all the work so many people has put into this article, I don't believe in deleting it from the wiki either. Perhaps in the future someone else might just decide to modify it a bit. --Rstrong1234 (talk) 03:32, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
